So this was one of those sleeper tracks that I slept on when I first heard it. It was a reject from last month’s mixtape. But three weeks later I’m unwittingly jamming to it constantly. Anyone know what I’m talking about? Or is just the alcohol speaking right now? Such is life! Enjoy your weekend!
If you’re not watching this series you should be! Toni Collette, the lead actress, is amazing as she plays no fewer than five characters. It’s the best thing on TV at the moment. Nothing more to say really.
Ohhh… The music on the show is top rate also! Last week’s episode also featured the track from ‘Apples and Pairs’ by Slow Club; I’m really crushing on this song right now.
So here’s a fun one for you from Powerlifter of Wichita Kansas… Now I can’t say that i was ever big into glitch, 8bit, or whatever the kids are calling it these days…other than Crystal Castles if you count that. But, I’m digging this track. I often find that a good music video can grab someone and get them to pay closer attention to what they’re listening to. I likely wouldn’t have given this track 30 seconds if it weren’t for the visual accompaniment. Shot on two Canon 7Ds, this video is well executed… crisp and the cuts are on point! There’s even a bit of homo-eroticism going on in there. Kudos to director Kevin Wildt on this one.

Holy Fucking Shit… Romain Gavras! Pardon the expletives but I don’t know what else to say that could adequately express my sentiments at the moment. This is the same dude that did Justice’s amazing ‘Stress’ music video. This video trumps that one in intensity, which is very much an accomplishment. I’m actually in quite the anxious state at the moment from just watching this.
I hope the song is a prelude of what to expect from MIA’s upcoming album. I’m Loving it! Here’s the mp3 (M.I.A. - Born Free)
So I’m a bit obbsessed with the xx and they continue to amaze me. This video is so simple yet brilliant and well executed that It’s been on repeat for the past hour. Watch it!!!

I’m not a believer in too many things but I must say that things are looking up right now! I’m busier than ever on all fronts… and for once, I’m enjoying the bout of increased activity.I’m feeling rather optimistic about pretty much everything, which is the scary part because I’m so accustomed to the tragedy and disappointment that typically follows. One would assume I’d be ducking for cover but instead, I think I’ll Press My Luck and Go For Gold! I’m leaving for Vegas tomorrow, Yeah! Vegas Baby, Vegas!!! And who knows, I might let it all ride on black! If I hit, I wonder if that would make a believer out of me? Wish me luck.
And so here we go! Diligent Dance: April 2010 Mixtape

So, I know I’m late with this month’s mixtape y’all, but I’m trying! I’m really really trying! And it doesn’t help that I’m stumbling across a bunch of pretty tracks that would never end-up on a Diligent Dance Mixtape… Case and point, ‘Back to Back’ by Wolf Gang.
I hope you’ll have some understanding for my predicament. I promise there will be an April mixtape!
I was out way too late after the xx concert last night and I’m paying for it. Don’t get me wrong, i had a blast… I even made a new friend. But DAMN… smack me and call me Sally! Who has a after party on a Monday night anyhow? I’m sitting at my desk now though I might as well be at home in bed because mentally, emotionally, and spiritually I’m definitely not here. This track off of MGMT’s upcoming album Congratulations is speaking to me at the moment.
